2.8 million on the roll

As at Tuesday night, 2,796,659 or 93.5 per cent of eligible voters were enrolled to vote on election day.

At the same time in 2002, 2,611,658 or 92.1 per cent were on the roll.

The electoral rolls for the September 17 elections have closed, with just under 200,000 eligible voters not enrolled to vote.

Enrolment centre manager Murray Wicks said the final tally of enrolled voters would not be known until the weekend when all enrolment forms had been processed.

People can still enrol right up to the day before election day, although those registering after today will need to cast special declaration votes.
